Adults

Adult Education is a rich and varied palette.

Adult Education at Hennepin Avenue UMC is a rich and varied palette. From Sunday morning classes to weekday and evening opportunities, we try to offer everyone the chance to create a circle of people in which they are known and can belong, where they may encounter the Holy, and nurture their faith.

We are open to your ideas for groups and classes. Contact Pastor Laura Hannah ([email protected]) with your ideas and desires for new ways to create community.

Men’s Bible Fellowship

Join a group of men for Bible study, conversation and fellowship. Come for the fresh caramel rolls & coffee, stay for friendship and bible study. All men are invited to attend this lively discussion.

This group meets every Friday at 7am in the Longfellow Room.

Women's Thursday Bible Study

This women’s bible study, led by longtime friends and facilitators Mary Mensheha and Juanita Reed-Boniface, is an open community of focused Bible students. Their varied backgrounds and wide-ranging interests create great study and prayer experiences. Open to all ages, women who participate find community that transforms and enriches their lives.

Our Women's Thursday Bible Study Group meets at 11am in the Longfellow Room. New participants are always welcome.

United Methodist Women

The mission of United Methodist Women (UMW): UMW advocates for the oppressed and dispossessed; supports the needs of women, children and youth; seeks to build a supportive community among women; and helps foster growth in the Christian faith, mission education, and Christian social involvement.

Hennepin Avenue UMC’s United Methodist Women currently has 6 small communities, or circles. Each one is a supportive, caring, creative fellowship of women in our Christian faith. All women at Hennepin Avenue UMC are members of UMW and are welcome to participate at any time.

UMW Circle programs include book discussions, speakers on timely topics, reports on women in the Bible, and hand-on mission activities, both at Hennepin Avenue UMC (such as making sandwiches for The Dignity Center or knitting scarves for the Community Meals guests) and in our neighborhood (such as volunteering at Joyce Preschool and Walker Methodist Health Care Center).
